This fly, with the spotted wings occurred in two traps last week. I looks like an Opomyzid to me, as does the other fly which was supposed to be holding it up so that the wings were flat but I see it moved. Anyway they are probably both the same family and that is all I need. I notice, but it doesn't show on the photo, the camera is not happy looking down the microscope, unlike myself, that both have branches on the upper side of the antennae only. I know this is a character of some Ephydrids, but???????????????? You all know how ignorant I am!:D
